He worked various jobs before making his TV debut in 1992. In 1995, the celebrity landed a role in the movie Clueless. Later, Rudd appeared in the popular Halloween franchise as a grown-up version of Tommy Doyle. Rudd appeared in multiple high-grossing films, such as Monsters vs. Aliens. One of his most popular roles is Scott Lang in Ant-Man. Currently, the star is married and has two children.

Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd used to date

Over the years, Aniston made headlines regarding her relationship with other celebrities. She and Rudd used to date way back in the day. The two of them first met in 1998 when they starred in The Object of My Affection. The characters they played were love interests. Rudd and Aniston began to date soon after their time together on the set of the movie.

However, their romance would be very short-lived. Aniston would go on to date and eventually marry actor Brad Pitt. Aniston and Rudd remained friends for years and have worked together multiple times. Once was in 2002 when Rudd appeared in Friends as Phoebe’s love interest. The two stars would appear as love birds again later on.

In 2012, Aniston and Rudd starred in the film Wanderlust together. The film is about a married couple who move to a commune to escape modern society. The two actors portrayed the married couple. Aniston and Rudd had a couple of awkward encounters whenever they had met but managed to stay on positive terms.

Jennifer Aniston talked about kissing Paul Rudd

Many people may easily forget that Aniston and Rudd had dated for a brief time. Aniston’s relationships with people like Pitt dwarfed their romance. She and Rudd would later act as a married couple in Wanderlust. In the film, the couple becomes members of a hippie community in a hotel called Elysium.

One of the rules is that the characters would have to give in to the idea of “free love.” A rift forms between them, but Rudd’s character realizes that he still loves his wife. Naturally, Rudd and Aniston’s characters would have to kiss on-screen. Some people might think it would be awkward for the exes to kiss.

According to Cosmopolitan, Aniston stated in an interview, “Nah. I’ve kissed him for years.” Some people are uncomfortable with being in the same room as their ex. Aniston and Rudd kept things professional whenever they needed to kiss for the cameras. In the same interview, Paul added, “We’ve made out for decades.”

Jennifer Aniston’s Engagement Ring Stuns Fans—You Won’t Believe Who Gave It to Her!

Jennifer Aniston has once again captured the world’s attention — but this time, it’s not for a movie role or red carpet appearance. The beloved Friends star was photographed this weekend wearing what appears to be a dazzling engagement ring, sparking widespread speculation — and total disbelief once the identity of the man behind the ring was revealed.

The surprising moment occurred on Saturday afternoon, when Aniston, 55, was seen leaving a private lunch in Malibu with friends. Dressed casually in a cream blouse, wide-leg trousers, and sunglasses, the actress looked relaxed — but it was the sparkling diamond ring on her left hand that caught everyone’s eye.

“She wasn’t trying to hide it,” said one onlooker. “She was smiling, talking, gesturing with her hands — and that ring was impossible to miss.”

Social media exploded within hours as fans dissected the photos, with “Jennifer Aniston Engaged” quickly trending on X (formerly Twitter). Most assumed she might have quietly rekindled a relationship with an ex — perhaps Justin Theroux, or even, as the internet loves to fantasize, Brad Pitt.

But when sources close to the actress confirmed who the ring came from, fans were left completely stunned.

Jennifer Aniston is reportedly engaged to British musician and former One Direction star Harry Styles.

Yes — that Harry Styles.

The news was confirmed by an unnamed insider who spoke to multiple entertainment outlets late Saturday evening. “They’ve been quietly seeing each other for over a year,” the source said. “It started as a friendship — they connected over wellness, art, and a shared sense of humor. One thing led to another, and here they are.”

The 30-year-old singer and 55-year-old actress were first publicly seen together at a charity gala in Beverly Hills last year, but few suspected anything romantic at the time. Styles, known for his eclectic fashion and genre-defying music, reportedly met Aniston through mutual friends in the wellness space.

“They bonded during a retreat in Big Sur,” the insider added. “What surprised everyone was how natural their connection was. No games, no spotlight — just a lot of laughter and a deep emotional bond.”

Aniston has not publicly confirmed the engagement, but paparazzi photos taken over the weekend show her and Styles leaving a private residence in Los Angeles together, holding hands and both wearing rings — Harry with a silver band on his middle finger, Jennifer with a diamond solitaire on her left.

Fans are divided — shocked, excited, and curious.

“Jennifer Aniston and Harry Styles? Did not have that on my 2025 bingo card,” one fan tweeted.

Another wrote:

 “I’m still recovering from the engagement ring. Now you’re telling me it’s from Harry?! I need a moment.”

While the couple’s 25-year age difference has sparked debate online, many fans and celebrities alike are applauding their unexpected union.

“They’re both adults, both successful, and clearly happy,” one fan posted. “Who are we to question love?”

Even former co-star Courteney Cox reportedly gave the romance her blessing. According to a source close to the actress, “Court loves Harry and thinks he brings out a playful, lighthearted side of Jen that’s been missing for a while.”

Aniston’s dating life has long been a subject of media obsession, often overshadowing her impressive career. The actress has been married twice — first to Brad Pitt in 2000 and later to Justin Theroux in 2015. Both marriages ended in divorce.

“She’s been through a lot,” said the source. “This time, she’s not rushing into anything public. She wants to enjoy the moment on her own terms.”

As of now, no wedding date has been announced, and neither Aniston nor Styles has commented publicly on the engagement. But if the ring — and the smiles — are any indication, this Hollywood twist could be the love story no one saw coming.

For fans who’ve followed Aniston through decades of triumphs, heartbreak, and resilience, this news offers a hopeful reminder: love can still surprise you — even in Malibu, on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
